Research Interests
I am interested in exploring the interplay between language and other important factors. I learn from babies about language development: How does early language develop with concurrent sensory and motor milestones in a dynamical system? I learn from adults about language mechanism: How does word learning interact with learners’ cognitive skills and language experience?
